Quattro Audible Altimeters are specialized devices designed primarily for skydivers to provide critical altitude information through audible tones. Instead of relying solely on visual altimeters, which can be difficult to monitor during freefall, these devices emit distinct beeping patterns that correspond to preset altitudes.
The core function is to enhance situational awareness by allowing skydivers to track their descent without needing to constantly look at their wrist-mounted visual altimeter. This hands-free altitude indication is crucial for safety, enabling timely execution of deployment procedures and other critical maneuvers.
These Quattro Audible Altimeters are usually compact, lightweight, and designed to be mounted inside a skydiver’s helmet. They are battery-powered and built to withstand the rigors of skydiving, including rapid changes in altitude and pressure. While primarily audible, some models may also offer basic visual indicators or the ability to interface with other skydiving equipment. The focus, however, remains on providing clear and distinct auditory cues for critical altitude awareness.
